I'm trying to be healthy, dieting and working out, but the fat on my thighs is pretty stubborn - they needed a boost. So, this week I went for an Indiba treatment at Urban Retreat, Harrods.

The therapist uses a small round plate to pass radio frequency (RF) into the fatty areas of my thighs (it can also be used on 'problem' areas such as the arms, tummy and chin). The RF encourages the body’s ions to exchange with those on the plate, this process kick starts the lymphatic system enabling the build-up of toxins to be flushed away. The plate heats up (be warned: it gets pretty hot) which raises the body’s temperature to increase the blood flow, speeds up the metabolic rate of the cells and ensure the toxins are flushed away efficiently.

Straight after my thighs felt less heavy than usual and my cellulite looked less visible; the effects keep working for 72 hours and I must say after that they looked better than ever. Impressive. For best results I'd recommend a course of treatments which you can pack into little over a week (ideal before a holiday or special occasion), but a one-off is a great way to boost an otherwise sluggish body part!
